title: N-[4-(Di-methyl-amino)-benzyl-idene]-4-methyl-aniline.
abstract: The mol-ecules of the title compound, C16H18N2, exists in a trans conformation with respect to the C=N bond [1.270 (3) Å]. The least-squares plane of the di-methyl-amino group makes a dihedral angle of 1.3 (2)° with the ring to which it is attached. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 11.70 (2)°. The crystal structure features weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.
